Heap metadata corruption in the popt command-line parsing library's `poptConfigFileToString` function can be triggered by a local, low-privileged attacker who supplies specially crafted configuration file content to an affected host. Successful exploitation causes the consuming process to crash, resulting in denial of service. CVSS 2.5 (Low) reflects the strictly local, high-complexity exploitation path with no confidentiality or integrity impact; no public exploit code or active exploitation (CISA KEV) is known at time of analysis.
